virus in yahoo messenger

i hav been infected by an adware type virus on my yahoo messenger which automaticly sends website links to my friends ....Pls can anybody tell me which antivirus to use ????

 

Reinstall yahoo it may help or i had read an artice to remove it

 

i hv heard from someone that it wont help if u reinstall yahoo messenger because the virus is not in the messenger it is somewhere on the PC and will attack again

 

This is a worm that spreads itself by sending links to your contacts in messengers like Yahoo, AOL and Windows Live messengers. It disables Registry Editor and Task Manager. It changes the Internet Explorer (IE) home page and also modifies registry such that you cannot change the homepage address.

Here are simple steps following which you can get the worm removed from your system:

1) Download this file: http://avsharath.googlepages.com/RepairRegistry.reg
2) Double click on that downloaded registry file, you will be asked wheather you're sure to add this to registry, click yes.
3) Restart your system.
4) Delete the file svhost32.exe from your Windows folder( If it is present).
5) Delete the file svhost.exe from your Windows folder( If it is present).
6) Lastly, search for: ENET.EXE and delete it if found.

And the silly worm's story ends.
